ABSTRACT. Checklist of bees (Hymenoptera, Apidae sensu lato) from Mato Grosso do Sul state, Brazil. In this paper a current list of the bee species from Mato Grosso do Sul State, Brazil is presented and available in the online database of collections and reported in the literature, besides own collections held in diff erent localities in the state, encompassing diff erent vegetation types. The total number of bee species recorded for Mato Grosso do Sul, including morphospecies, is 386 species, distributed in 107 genera and fi ve subfamilies. The most diverse subfamily is Apinae, followed by Megachilinae, Halictinae, Colletinae and Andreninae. We added new distribution records of 97 species of bees to Mato Grosso do Sul.

Introduction Stingless bees are a very crucial group of tropical pollinators and a model system for social insects that has gained increasing attention recently. Stingless bees of the subtribe Meliponina popularly known as 'indigenous bees', are represented by 400 species spread out over all tropical regions of the world, as well as in subtropical regions of the Southern Hemisphere.

The aim of this study was to evaluate the diversity of Meliponini and anothers Apiformes (Apidae sensu lato) from a Cerrado fragment and its surrounding. Malaise traps were installed in a pasture near a fragment of Cerrado and its surrounding, from October to December 2010. Samples were collected at seven-day intervals and preserved in Dietrich solution. The apiforms specimens from each sample were separated in morphospecies and sent to identification. The tribe Meliponini was the most abundant in open areas of pasture than in the Cerrado fragment. The Meliponini species present were Trigona gr. fulviventris, Paratrigona lineata, Trigona recursa, Partamona sp, Trigona spinipes, Trigona gr. hyalinata, Trigona gr. fulviventris, Tetragonisca fiebrigi, Tetragona clavipes, Frieseomelitta cf. flavicornis, Lestrimelitta rufipes. The dominant species was Paratrigona lineata, comprising 82.47% of all species collected.

This work integrates the PhD research entitled "Teacher training and the organization of pedagogical work in the Rural Education degree courses (LEDUC): case study of the Universidade Federal da Grande Dourados (UFGD)", linked to the Graduate Program in Education, UNESP, Presidente Prudente. The objective of this article is to select and identify the articles located for the period 2001-2018 in the Capes/MEC Periodicals Portal, using the descriptors: Teaching degree, Initial teacher training, Undergraduate course and Rural Education. Resulting from bibliographical research we quantitatively list the productions in this period, generating a state of knowledge about teacher training in the Rural Education degree courses, allowing later to analyze and understand the formative processes and their relations with the context in which they are realized, the tensions and dilemmas faced by the courses and the meanings attributed to them by the subjects involved.

Rhinotora Schiner, 1868, are a rare group of flies, previously including seven species distributed in the Americas, six of them occurring in Brazil. This work aims to provide a taxonomic review for Rhinotora Schiner, with addition of two species in the genus: Rhinotora fonsecai, which is transferred back to its original genus, and R. paschoali sp. nov. New distributional records are presented for R. lopesi and R. travassosi. A key to the all known heleomyzid species recorded from Brazil is provided.
